The BBQ and Smoking Thread

[killramos]

Just as an aside, I haven’t bothered booking my gas napoleon grill up since May because the Kamado is that versatile.

Only downside is it takes a few extra minutes up front to get it going, but that has been mitigated significantly since I started using a chimney to light my charcoal.

Buy my Weber Performer Deluxe. I'm selling it. You can have it for $100.

Buy this, the efficiency of ceramic cookers is not needed, this has a built in propane torch to light charcoal also

What’s next, you are going to tell me studded tires aren’t needed because I have enough horsepower?

The best bbq is open pits… small, hot fires running at full tilt produces the best flavour, saving 30% on charcoal? What are you? Poor???

Slightly off topic. We are temporarily without a gas line for BBQ. Cost to switch current Napoleon BBQ to propane burning is prohibitive.

We need a decent quality smoker anyways, would be great to be able to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Wondering if there's a smoker that can also do grilling/bbqing?

I’ve been extremely happy with my Masterbuilt Gravity series. Goes as low as 200F and up to 700F (takes 10 mins to go from 200 to 700 after you set the temp). Uses charcoal and not wood pellets. Also has wifi control, but it’s a bit buggy if I’m honest. You do need a power outlet nearby tho as temp is controlled by a little fan which feeds oxygen into the firebox.

I have the smaller 560. All models (560, 800, 1050) are the same except cooking area, and the flat top griddle which comes with the 800 only. The 560 fits a 17 lb brisket no problem and haven’t had a situation where I’ve run out of room yet, but I’d go with at least the 800 if you entertain fairly often. I was on the lookout for the 800 but settled for the 560 because I got a really good deal on it ($450+ tax after price matching Walmart clearance at Home Depot)

Thinking of getting on of these. There's a store in Ontario advertising it online for $597. Hoping to get a local price match at HD or Lowe's.

Reading several reviews and comparisons of the MB 560 vs pellet smokers, most say that the MB 560 makes meat more smokey flavoured vs pellets.

My wife isn;t a fan of the heavy smoke flavour, is the 560 able to grill/smoke without leaving heavy smoke taste?

When I want smoke flavour like on a brisket or a pork butt/shoulder, I throw in chunks of hard wood in the hopper with all the charcoal and also in the ash catcher.

When I do wings or steaks where I don’t want too much smoke, I don’t add any wood chunks, just the charcoal. Charcoal on its own does put out some Smokeyness but it’s not too overpowering
